Goztepe demonstrated outstanding defensive performance last season, conceding less than a goal per game. Their head-to-head matches with Samsunspor have typically been tight, with few goals scored. Based on this pattern, betting on under 2.5 goals is recommended for their upcoming clash. Both current form and past encounters point to a low-scoring affair, making 'under 2.5 goals' the ideal betting option.

Both sides defended well in the previous season, especially Goztepe who allowed just 32 goals in 34 contests. I am predicting a low-scoring affair on Monday. 

Key Stats  


  • Samsunspor have seen under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 matches against Goztepe. 
  • Goztepe have seen under 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 away matches. 

Goztepe Lead H2H 


This is going to be the 39th time these two sides lock horns. Goztepe have a 20-10 advantage in terms of victories. 

Thorsten Fink’s Side Tough to Beat at Home


Samsunspor had a good run in the Turkish Super Lig last season, finishing in 7th place with 51 points after 34 rounds. 

A majority of those points were earned in front of the home crowd, registering seven wins, seven draws and three defeats. 

The Braves had mixed results in the pre-season campaign. They lost to Dunkerque 2-1, draws against La Louviere 0-0 and beat AEK 2-1 in late July, while defeating Westerlo 2-1 and losing to Kasimpasa 3-0 in August. 

Goztepe One of Best Defensive Teams in Turkey 


Goztepe were one of the pleasant surprise packages in the previous campaign, finishing just two points behind European placement in 6th place. 

Their defending was exceptional, allowing just 32 goals in 34 matches, second best in the Super Lig. 

Goz Goz did great in their preparations for the new season, claiming five victories in friendly matches against Gorica 2-0, LNZ Cherkasy 2-0, Al Dhafra 2-1, Zorya 2-1 and Trabzonspor 2-1, while a clash against Rudes ended 1-1. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Samsunspor (3-4-2-1) Okan Kocuk; Joe Mendes, Yunus Emre Cift, Ali Diabate; Logi Tomasson, Celil Yuksel, Landry Assoumou, Antoine Makoumbou; Afonso Sousa, Emre Kilinc; Marius Mouandilmadji

Carlo Holse and Rick van Drongelen played important roles for Samsunspor last season, but both have left the club. They also have a couple of injury concerns, Elayis Tavsan, Tanguy Coulibaly and Jaures Assoumou being sidelined. 

Goztepe (3-4-1-2) Luka Gugeshashvili; Taha Altikardes, Allan Godoi, Malcom Bokele; Arda Okan Kurtulan, Alex Matos, Novatus Miroshi, Amine Cherni; Alexis Antunes; Andre Henrique, Janderson

Strikers Andre Henrique and Sinclair Armstrong are Goztepe’s biggest acquisitions this summer. Ibrahim Sabra and Nevzat Uzel are currently injured. 

Verdict

Goztepe were rock-solid defensively last season, allowing less than one goal per league game. A majority of their recent h2h against Samsunspor were low-scoring affairs, so under 2.5 goals is the best bet.
